Organic Heterolayer Interfaces: Structure and Vibrational Excitations (A03)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2013
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 223848855

This project focuses on the in-situ preparation and characterisation of organic/inorganic interfaces, as well as of molecular heterolayer systems using infrared absorption spectroscopy. The structure and thermal stability of these will be analysed and processes such as interfacial dynamical charge transfer associated with specific vibrational excitations examined. Central aspects of our work will in particular concern reaction mechanisms in synthetic interface chemistry, metal-on-molecule interfaces, and organic heterolayer interfaces on non-hexagonal substrates.
